It has never been more challenging to help patients manage chronic conditions, most especially type 2 diabetes.
More than 34 million Americans have diabetes, according to the CDC, and the vast majority of them have type 2. In normal times, managing diabetes is a challenge for physicians, as it requires a strong physician-patient relationship and dedication from patients to adhere to their treatment plans.
